A few times within the last month, my ipod hasn't been ablw to shut off or play.
I can go fwd and back to the next track, but the song won't play. One time the song timer was moving but nothing was playing. (nothing wrong with the track). Other times, the ipod screen just said 0:00 for the song. I fwd to the next song, and it too stayed at 0:00.
Then I couldn't turn it off!!
So each time I had to re-boot it (menu and select). I then get an apple icon and the iPod is back to working mode. Sort of - because now it has been drained of power, and shuts off. Everytime I've done the reset thing to help me shut it off, my ipod has been fully charged - and then the battery is empty!!
help. will I need to send it back??

Turned on my ipod. Update available. Updated fine, came to accepting terms and conditions and this is where it all went wrong. Stuck, cannot accept and cannot turn off the the ipod. It is stuck on the terms and conditions. Uninstalled itunes on my computer and reinstalled accepting the terms and condition in my computer. Pluged in my ipod, but still nothing. Just stuck on the terms and conditions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Let the battery fully drain till the iPod turns off.
Then place it in Recovery Mode for a full restore. (Setup as new when done)

Cannot turn my Ipod off at all!

my ipod, even after loading software, connecting to the computer, etc, will not turn off. i cannot find this in any of the FAQ sections of the website... help?

well, just realised how stupid THAT question was! Sorry!

The menu button will not work and I cannot turn the ipod off using the top button either. What do I do?

What can I do to fix this?

Try:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
- If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
- If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
- There are third-party places like the following that will repair the Home button. Google for more.

Also try restoring the iPod via iTunes. If it is necessary to place the iPod in recovery mode to restore use this program.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can't turn my iPod OFF!

For the last week or so my iPod won't turn off, which is a bit of a twist on the regular "I can't turn my iPod on" posts.
Until now it would turn itself off after about five minutes unused, or I could turn it off by holding down play/pause, but now it just stays on 24/7 whether it's playing or not.
This is a bit of a pain as I need to make sure it's plugged in overnight or the battery gets run down.
Any ideas?
Oh, and yes I have checked the "hold" switch isn't on.

I just tried the enter button and play button together - that turned it off, but as soon as I let go of the buttons it comes back on again!!
On the third or fourth attempt it turned off and stayed off so maybe I'll just have to think of it as an extra game - test your skill, can you turn the iPod off in less than three goes!

I was updating my iPhone and it is stuck. It won't complete the update and I cannot turn the phone off or use it at all. How can i get it unstuck?

i'm wondering if i can use my macbook pro to override the update that is incomplete.

What does this have to do with Classic operating systems? They won't run on a Macbook anyway.

Check your cable whether it is good. If it is use the wall plug to charge at least half an hour. See how it goes.

Videos freeze up, i cant turn my ipod off

i have a few movies on my ipod, real ones that are like 2 hours long. some times they play just fine but other times the freeze about every 30 seconds for about 2 seconds and when i starts playing again there is no sound. i found that if i rewind the movie back to a place where it was before it froze then it will work again but 30 seconds later it will freeze. does any one else have this problem? its very annyoing and i would love a solution.
i have a second problem. when i stop a movie and i want to turn my ipod off for a little i am not ably to turn it off. i tryed pressing and holding the play button and also clicking alot on the sleep button on the main menu but it just wont respond. i can do other things, just not turn it off. i can finaly turn it off after about 5 minutes of trying. i noticed that there is a hummung noise when i put the ipod to my ear during the time i cant turn it off, and when the noise stops i can.

Hi.
have you updated with ipod updater 3-23-06?
I've heard that the problem where video play stops and then audio quits was resolved at least for some people with this update.
when the ipod makes independent noise that is usually the harddrive working. sometimes after a while of video playback the ipod gets warm and it won't respond to sleep commands until it cools off and the harddrive stops running. then you can turn it off.
when that happens have you tried resetting? (holding down menu and select buttons until apple screen comes on). I think that might help it respond faster.
good luck
the warm ipod thing may not be absolutely factual.

I've tried everything: Power Down, Reboot, delete to uninstall and reinstall app, turn off in tray, etc.
Nothing works.

I cannot see your screen shots for some reason, but here's a suggestion:
Open iTunes on your computer, look at your playlists there. Go to your "Voice Memos" playlist, delete all its contents, and then sync your iPhone to iTunes.

Turning the IPod off

Unless it's a hardware problem, you may be able to by trying a reset.

I cannot turn on or off my location services on ipad 3 using iOS 8.0.2

hi,i cannot turn on or off my location services on ipad 3 using iOS 8.0.2
thanks

Hi roydoum,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear what you are seeing or what is happening when you try to turn Location Services on or off (what state is it currently in?). If you are having issues with Location Services, you may find the following article helpful (it is aimed at iOS 7, but the steps should be the same in iOS 8):
iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
If you haven't already, you may also want to try resetting your device:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Whats the difference between turning the ipod off and putting it to sleep?

is there a difference between turning off the ipod by holding the play button and selecting sleep in the main menu?

As far as I can tell, it's just another way of turning the iPod off.
